Phase Topology Stability of an Optical Vortex via an Electrically Controlled Twist‐Planar Oriented Liquid Crystal Fresnel Lens

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A simple and efficient method for determining the stability of optical vortices via Fourier transform using a conventional spherical lens is presented. The theoretical and experimental results demonstrate a practical approach to directly and unambiguously measure the magnitude and sign of the topological charge of a beam without altering an ...

Hierarchical Twist: Chirality Across Scales in Cellulose Cholesterics

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Hierarchical left‐ and right‐handed chiral nematic structures are observed in a solvent‐free thermotropic cellulose derivative. Free‐standing films show hierarchical twisted structures whose pitches respond differently to uniaxial strain: left‐handed pitches increase, ones decrease.

Ferroelectric Fluids for Nonlinear Photonics: Evaluation of Temperature Dependence of Second‐Order Susceptibilities

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Nonlinear optical susceptibilities of five different materials that exhibit the ferroelectric nematic phase, as well as smectic A ferroelectric phase, are determined. The materials investigated include archetypal molecular architectures as well as mixtures showing room‐temperature ferroelectric phases.

Room‐Temperature, Photo‐Densified High Refractive Index Titanium Oxide Thin Films for Solution‐Processed Flexible Bragg Mirrors and Microcavity OLEDs

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents the room‐temperature fabrication of solution‐processed, high refractive index TiOX thin films via photo‐densification. Using these films, flexible Bragg mirrors are demonstrated on PET substrates, achieving a high reflectivity of 96% at 450 nm.

From Brittle to Flexible: Influence of Glucose‐Based Additives on Cellulose Nanocrystal Self‐Assembly in Suspension and Dried Photonic Films

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) self‐assemble in aqueous suspension into chiral nematic liquid crystals, resulting in structurally colored films upon drying. Here, the influence of sugar additives on CNC self‐assembly in suspension and in films are studied.
